Did anyone get his sim code to run? One problem I found with his code was that while he was calculating how much mana you needed to cast a particular card on Tx, he wasn't factoring in actually having that card on that turn as well.

I understand that if we want to play stuff on curve we should have at least 50% chance of drawing that many lands till this turn, right? So for example deck that ends curve on 3 should play at least 18 lands? Which is a correct number? 23 to break past 75% ?

What the %'s mean is how likely it is that on turn three you'll have your third land. Basically, at 50% it just as likely to have your third land by turn three than it is you won't have it. Half of your games will have 3 lands on turn 3; the other half won't. Is that good enough for you?

I can't answer what the correct number is, only you know that. Will your deck survive with half of its games not having a third land on turn three?

hamfactorial!! What is the optimal amount of lands to play if you ONLY want to see 3 lands (no more no less) - I only have 4x 3cc spells so I don't really care if i don't hit 3 lands on the curve though hitting 2 lands sure is nice...?

I don't know what the problems were with this, but I had some weird formatting and broken tags in the UR Delver primer post as well. Fixed it on Oct 7th which was after the port, right? So, yeah could have been the port.

will this ever happen? also, these tables are sweet. have you perhaps done some calculations for 40-card limited decks and number of lands drawn by turn X? it may have been one of the missing ones...
